As I advised the House in my reply of 24th October 2007 to a previous question on the same matter (PQ 25384/07 refers), my Department conducted a public consultation process in relation to the commencement of the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act 2007 regarding payment method charges. My Department received almost 50 submissions in response to the consultation process. These submissions have raised a number of matters which are currently being considered.
